Home for the Holidays Update

Happy Holidays to all of you!

We are really enjoying being home with friends and family. Thanks to everyone who was sure to speak to us at church. We love you all and hope that you have a wonderful Christmas!

We have been really busy visiting with as many people as we can since we have arrived.

Today we had to bring Elayna to the doctor. She has been running fever for 3 days. She has another Urinary Tract Infection due to reflux to the kidney. The doctor said that it is measured in small, medium, and large. Using that scale, Elayna's infection is a large. Poor baby. She had to have an antibiotic shot. Depending on how tonight goes, she may have to have another shot tomorrow.

Dawson, too, has been sick, but Lord willing he will sleep through the night tonight with no complications. He seemed to be feeling better today.

Kristen has been offered a chance to go back to school. (Long story short, she didn't get into school in Ireland and has really missed it.) She will be staying with my surrogate parents, Bobby & Shirley McDonald (Paw Paw and Mimi), for the 8 weeks that we return to Ireland. Kristen is sooo excited! Although, she has admitted that she will miss those that she has befriended in Ireland.

It sounds like we are missing exciting things in Ireland! For one, the container FINALLY came in! That is so exciting. We can't wait to see what we put on it..because we certainly don't remember...lol. And for two, we missed a service in Dublin where a new work has been started. We can't wait to hear all about it!

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!
